Looking for an extraordinary baby name? You might consider the initial X, one of the least-used letters in the alphabet. Funnily, while first names that start with X are rare, the letter has been sneaking its way up in popularity on the naming charts as a central or closing sound for years (Axel, Lexi, Max).
In addition to being a rare first initial, it is a complex one, with multiple pronunciation options and diverse cultural significance. If you want your little one’s name to be extra special, this is the exact place to check first.
Xandra: A modern shortening of the classic Alexandra meaning 'defending men' from the Russian, it will definitely give your girl an edge.
Xanthe: This rare Greek name for girls means 'golden' or 'yellow.'
Xaviera: A stunner that does not get nearly as much play as its male counterpart, Xavier, but is just as special.
Xara: Pronounced like Zara, which has mixed Hebrew and Arabic roots meaning 'blooming flower' or 'God remembers' depending on your preferred interpretation, it is a unique X name idea for a daughter.
Xena: The Greek name meaning 'guest' exists on its own unlike some of the tweaked X names that originally began with Z; we love its simplicity and warm meaning.
Xenobia: A super rare name choice for a daughter, it is also of Greek origin, translating to 'of Zeus.' Zeus was an all-knowing protector and god of the sky in Greek mythology.
Xia: The Chinese baby girl name means 'glow of the sunrise,' for a promising and pretty pick for your little girl.
Ximena: The Spanish name is actually a feminised version of Ximeno, or 'son,' so with a dubious translation you can consider it as referring to your daughter.
Xiomara: With mixed Spanish and Portuguese roots, this lovely X name for girls translates to 'famous in battle.'
Xochitl: The Native American baby girl name belonging to the Aztec tribe means 'flower,' for a special take on the nature name trend.
Xolani: An African (Zulu/Xhosa) baby girl name, it has a gorgeous sound and the sweet dual meaning, 'peace' and 'please forgive.'
Xabat: A shortened version of the Spanish Salvador—'savior'—it has serious style.
Xaiden: A modern invented name in the Jayden and Hayden vein; the pronunciation is up to you, but an opening 'Z' sound is preferable.
Xan: Some short baby names leave much to be desired, but this one packs a punch as a diminutive of Alexander ('defending man') worth considering on its own. Xander is another option.
Xanthos: This handsome Greek name for boys means 'golden-haired.'
Xavier: Definitely the best known X name for babies, it is a Basque name translating to 'new house' popularized by the Spanish musician Xavier Cugat in the mid-1900’s. The nickname Xavi can also be given as its own name.
Xenophon: A truly rare and alluring baby boy name, it comes from Greek roots and means 'foreign voice.'
Xerxes: The Persian name meaning 'hero among heroes' has a unique sound and beautiful meaning for your little guy.
Xoan: A smart way to name your baby after a John in the family, the Galician version will set him apart.
Xyler: With the X trend rising, more familiar names are getting a revamp with this new initial. Xyler is another modern invented name, rhyming with Tyler and open to your interpreted meaning of choice.
Xylon: The Greek nature name—'the forest'—is a clever pick to satisfy the need for an X in the first position.
Xen: Pronounced like the more familiar Zen, with which it shares a meditative meaning, the name of Japanese/Buddhist origin is adorable and gender-neutral.
Xiu: A whisper of a name from the Chinese, it surrounds a 'beautiful culmination' and is related to grace and elegance.
Xinyi: This one is a place name for a district in Taipei, Taiwan; its Chinese root words conjure joy and harmony in the mind and soul.
Xoese: The gender-neutral Chinese moniker meaning 'one who believes' is a strong choice for a little one.
